FOR THE LOVE OF DOG
<p>A few years ago I attended the birthday party of a friend’s French bulldog and was the only one not to show up with a gift. I have always been an animal lover, but I used to roll my eyes at people who indulged their pets. I would sneer at chihuahuas wearing custom knit sweaters and poodles who had home-cooked meals. Whenever I saw people kiss their dogs, I wondered what would happen if they redirected all the kindness and money they showered on their fur ball towards another human being instead. It seemed like a cruel example of the world’s inequality that the pet elite lived more luxuriously than many people.</p>
